“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.
“You are not numbers or case files.
“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

I follow with concern the war in #Ukraine, which is experiencing a sharp intensification in these days. I wish to express my closeness to all those suffering due to recent attacks carried out even against civilians. War does not solve problems but worsens them. It does not create security but multiplies suffering and hatred. Where missiles and drones fall, hopes also fall; homes and places of prayer are destroyed, and innocent lives are broken. I entrust all peoples wounded by war to the protection of the Virgin Mary, Queen of #Peace.
The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.
The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

Let us #PrayTogether that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoid wasting food, and to ensure that everyone has access to quality food. #PrayerIntention@clicktopray_en https://t.co/S3TtsnBEer
#EarthDay is a reminder of the fragility of our world.
But we know what must be done:
End our addiction to fossil fuels.
Accelerate the renewables revolution.
Protect & restore nature.
Deliver climate justice for the most vulnerable.
Let’s #ActNow – for people & planet.
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
@VredesNieuws Goed om het standpunt van het Vredesmuseum uit Teheran te lezen @VredesNieuws! Ja, laat het afschuwelijke geweld gauw stoppen! Ook in Libanon. 🕊️❤️🙏🏽
Pope Leo's Easter message:
"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"
On ressurection day, the first day of Easter, I saw this beautiful rainbow. The symbol of the bridge between God and everything that lives. May we cherish each life. May all wars end. May we take care for each other and nature. May we see soon: A World in Which All Children Play.
UNICEF is deeply saddened by the preventable, tragic death of Ata Mai, 7, who drowned on 27 December during severe flooding in an improvised camp for internally displaced people in Sudaniyeh, northwest of Gaza City.
He is the most recent child in Gaza to die due to the extreme winter conditions and lack of safe shelters. At least five other children have lost their lives in December after being exposed to such harsh conditions.

@MayMayMeijer These are very cute pictures and look good and I pray that in 2026 there will be peace in the whole world and we will see a world where every human being takes care of each other's nature.
And we will always be connected with Peace SOS for peace.
